The pizza delivery guy who didn't know he was headed to the Oscars!

When Edgar Martirosyan stepped out to deliver pizzas on March 2, he had no idea he'd soon step into the glorious Dolby Theatre filled with Hollywood's biggest stars, where the 86th Academy awards were being held.

Making an appearance on Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres' self-titled talk show a day after the Oscars, Martirosyan revealed he was in shock when he went in.

The chat show host asked him, "You thought you were going to bring them (the pizzas) to some producers? What did they tell you?"

"Yeah, they told me I'm just going to deliver for writers and then when I was there they just told me wait here and you (Ellen) came out... and you said I'm going to let you know when to follow me and I was like, we're going," he said.

"You said just follow me and I'm going then I'm on a stage... I was in shock."

Ellen DeGeneres gave a $1,000 tip to him for having delivered the pizzas at the Oscar ceremony.

DeGeneres and Martirosyan had, on Oscar night, gone to audience members' area as they delivered the pizzas to actors like Brad Pitt, Jared Leto and Meryl Streep.
